RTO Form 1: Application-Cum-Declaration as to Physical Fitness

In the category of driver’s licenses, Form 1 is the first application on the RTO’s list. It’s called a ‘Application-Cum-Declaration as to Physical Fitness’ because it determines whether the applicant has any physical disabilities that could jeopardize his ability to drive. It also looks to see whether you have any serious medical disorders, such as epilepsy or a vision problem.

How to fill RTO Form 1?

RTO Form 1 is divided into two sections. You must fill out your personal information in the first portion of the application, and you must also make a declaration of your medical history in the last section. The process of filling out the form is outlined in detail below.

• You must enter your entire name and the name of your father in points 1 and 2. (as mentioned in the identity proof submitted along with the application). In this category, married ladies can also put their husband’s names.
• The applicant provides the permanent address, as stated in the address evidence, in point 3. If you are not at your permanent address at the time you submit the form, include your temporary address in point number 4.
• The applicant’s date of birth is listed in point 5 of the application. Put your current age below your date of birth.
• Mention two identification marks in the sixth point. A birthmark or any visible scrape or stitch mark on the exposed region of the body, such as the face, arms, or legs, can be the cause.
• In the declaration, the applicant provides medical information demonstrating that he or she is fully capable of driving without endangering others’ lives.
• If you have a history of epilepsy, you should state it in point ‘a.’ It is a central nervous system disorder in which patients frequently have seizures and strange sensations. Mark ‘no’ if you’ve never had any of these symptoms before.
• The second point is about your vision. It covers if you can recognise number plates from other vehicles from a distance of 25 metres in broad daylight and whether you have lost sight in any eye. If you check this box, it means you have good eyesight.
• Point ‘c’ checks to see whether you have any motor disabilities or muscular problems. If you don’t have any motor or muscle issues, select “no.”
• The capacity to detect pigmentary colours and the lack of colour blindness are indicated by points ‘d’ and ‘e.’ If you can distinguish between red and green colours and have no history of colour blindness, select “no.”
• The letter ‘f’ stands for your auditory abilities. Mark ‘yes’ if you can drive a light vehicle without hearing aids.
• The final element is a declaration that you have no additional ailment or handicap that could endanger your fellow passengers or the broader public on the road. If you are in good health, mark “yes.”
